This subject provides students with an understanding of basic statistical methods used in the business environment and beyond. Students will accumulate a set of statistical techniques which they will apply to practical problems before and after they graduate. Specific skills include summarising and presenting data appropriately, testing hypotheses, using statistical notation, calculating probabilities, and forecasting using linear models. Consequently, successful graduates will be able to collaborate with business professionals in order to apply basic statistical techniques to new problems in the workplace. Furthermore, graduates will be able to communicate their findings ethically.
